Wanna Brush?

In a board-book filled with babies, Ajay is always drawn to one baby's activity in particular.

And ever since he's been reading that baby book, he gets very vocal whenever he sees the certain tool used for that activity he remembers from the book. He flaps his arms and practically jumps out of my arms and into the sink in order to get at it. Can you guess?

No! Not the toilet brush! A toothbrush!

Okay, so one day, I said to myself, "What the heck? He's got 4 of the cutest teeth I've ever seen and he just wants a little teether."

But it's totally made of plastic

and it seems that when he's chomping down on anything plastic, he arrives at some sort of petroleum-based ecstasy.

Nonetheless, I let him experiment with the thing. How do you think he likes it?

(That was his second go at his ear. He likes it...)

He looks in question because I hid the toothbrush so he'd look at me for a photo. When he retrieved it from under my leg, he told the toothbrush few stories about their time apart and how he was glad they were back together.

Never has a toothbrush seen so much action.

What's new?

Well, I've been pretty busy! I'm cruising all over the place from the play area to the couches, up the kitchen table's legs, under and over the piano and back again! I'm growing, homies!

I'm also working out these teefers, you know? Mom and Dad haven't given me a pacifier or plastic teethers, but I took the initiative and grabbed myself a bamboo cooking spoon. In the background is my bamboo-biscuit. Both are essential for sore gums, although I've been known to settle for a cold carrot stump on occasion.

I've been working-out A LOT! See how sweaty and bulked-out I am? I'm getting huge! (that's actually his spoon-spit, in case you thought he really was sweaty.)

Mom! Don't tell them my secret! How embarrassing!

Anyway, where was I? Oh yes. I get to read to my parents everyday. They get a kick out of the stories. I get to turn the pages. I have my favorite parts too. I like to find the red balloon in "Goodnight Moon" and I find the boy in "Jamberry." I like when the bear sneezes in "Bear Snores On," but my favorite is when Mom reads, "He blows and he sneezes and the whole crowd freezes." She's so silly.

I've been so expressive lately. Just practicing my shrieking eel and cat screams. It's pretty awesome when I match the frequency of the bells on the doorbell. Maybe I could shatter glass?

I won't open my mouth for a picture of my pearly whites, but I'll tell you about them. Mom noticed a little blood on my mouth and checked where the bleeding was with a washcloth. It was on my top gums. Sure enough, when she felt with her finger, there was not just one, but two teeth! So THAT'S why I've been keeping Mom up 4 to 6 times a night with a 2 hour "wake" from 3-5. (yeah.) Then, just one day later, I got my first bottom tooth in! Mom thinks the second bottom tooth will be through by tomorrow.

Did you know I'm recording my first album? Just kidding. Actually, I am just learning the piano. I practice with my mom everyday. I'm pretty sure I'm really good at it already.
